structures of WWP1 in its fully inactive and partially active states. Domains WW2, L, and WW4 are organized into a headset architecture, in which the WW2 and WW4 domains are bound to bilateral sites within the N-lobe, and L forms a kinked alpha-helix that is tucked into the cleft between the N- and C-lobes of HECT | Homo sapiens |

medicine | many WWP1 mutations identified in cancer patients result in a partially active state with increased E3 ligase activity, and the WWP1 mutants likely promote cell migration by enhancement of DELTANp63alpha degradation | Homo sapiens |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | HECT E3 ligase adopts an autoinhibited state, in which its multiple WW domains sequester HECT using a multi-lock mechanism. Removing WW2 or WW34 leads to a partial activation of WWP1. The multi-lock regulation mechanism is conserved in WWP2 and Itch, whereas in Nedd4/4 L and Smurf2, a variant version of the multi-lock autoinhibition mode is utilized | Homo sapiens |
